All you have to do is to change those inside <description>, <title>, <link>, and <guid> tags. To Add more links.. just copy the whole inside <item> tag and paste it for new one..

Step 2: Host your XML file elsewhere like ripway.com, drivehq.com or any hosting site where webfiles are allowed. The link generated by the hosting site should be your RSS Feed link

DONE! and enjoy your RSS FEEDS...

Can you explain what RSS feeds are exactly? Nice code by the way, I may be interested in using it sometime.

RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts. RSS is analogous to a table of contents. An RSS "feed" provides a table of contents for a site's content for a certain period of time; it does not provide the content itself, but links to the content. RSS is useful because it helps aggregate lots of content into an easily accessible place.

Hola, MasterVision!

How I can add "Latest Discussions" on a blog or webpage hosted in other server.

IE, my forums is on forumer ( http://grillonautas.com ), and I want "syndicate" the last discussions on the matriz website ( http://elcadillo.org ).

Thanks!!!
